No, it's only about accepting new connections on existing workers.

Many high load sites still run with non-persistent connections to keep
worker count down, and these benefit a lot from this change.

Sites using persistent connections only benefit marginally. But the
larger the worker count the higher the benefit as the load from new
connections gets distrubuted by the kernel instead of a stamping herd
of workers.
